As The Craving Cure’s Chapter 7 makes clear, not getting enough sleep can lead to cravings for junk food. This can be a vicious cycle, as junk food can worsen sleep by not providing the nutrients the brain needs to get us to sleep.

In my books and at my virtual clinic for food cravers, I urge you to eat at least three meals a day and especially not to skip breakfast. Research shows lower eating frequency leads to greater weight gain.
